- Hello everyone! This is my first motovlog uploaded out of interest as I have always wanted to record my rides. Hence, a little shy and new about it. It's a short trip from the East to Central, Somerset to visit my friend's french fries shop. Have been riding on the road for about 2 years now. Not really an expert in motorcycles BUT, I'm still slowly learning about it.
Please do not apply some of my unsafe riding 'skills'/attire such as riding in-between lanes and signalling etc. I'm not really a good example out there. Haha.
Nice to meet everyone! Stay safe and ride safe!
Motorcycle: Honda CB150R
If you don't pillion anyone often. You may consider changing to smaller rear sprockets to cruise at a lower RPM. Quieter, consumes lesser fuel, smoother too. Your stock gearing is 15/47, dropping it down to 15/43 or 15/44 will still be fine.
Alternatively, 16/46 works well too if you can't find rear sprockets that small for the CB150R
Even with a slight sacrifice in acceleration, it wouldn't affect much since you're relative lighter (at least lighter than me haha).
You should cover ur speedo hahaha.
my exmotion rarely goes above 85kph. Above 80kph, the vibration gets really uncomfortable
My anxiety when you drive in between cars 📈📈📈📈📈
Hehe 🙈 my anxiety also shoot to the sky :P
I'm a new rider, can you tell me more about parking on pavements?
I see so many bikes on the pavement at certain places!
Do's and don'ts?
Hi hi! By the rules, you should not park on pavements uh. Cause it will be a hefty fine of up to $2k or even jail, by LTA. It is a risk to park on pavements and as a new rider, I suggest you continue to practice good habits first.
Why some would dare to park, I could only think of 4 reasons:
1. Timing (It is late at night hence lower risk. Morning to afternoon is super high risk)
2. The area is not so popular, ulu ulu or hidden. (For example, jalan kayu there quite popular, so the frequency of officers going down are higher even at night.)
3. Monkey see monkey do. Hahaha but also have to be smart about it lah. I would recce around the area and observe first.
4. They park for a short while then go.
That’s all I can think of ah. It is a pain in the butt but safest to always find a parking lot. Places like Geylang very hard to find parking spaces, I will check my map, ride around few times (if no slot), assess and make my decision.
Hope it helps a little and congratulations on achieving your bike license!
@@jfkoh5040 I see! Yes I've certain places where this is especially bad, 5-6 bikes parking along a shophouse walkway, totally blocking access.
Was curious about the legality of it all. You've given a good checklist to run through.
Thanks! had a military class 2 licence, and we parked wherever ops called for it, but years after, i realise civilian moto parking is quite different.
i also have cb150r. my wife rides a vespa. next time we shld ride together
Omg sure!! That would be nice!
newbie rider here . How do u go in between car like that … tips pls

nice road Road Great 🤩🤩from indonesia
Best biker sg
hi! i’m planning on getting my first bike, can u share some tips or how and what to do?! really need it!
Oh man! Sorry i just saw this! I’m still a newbie at this. I researched around on the motorcycle shops and read through the reviews. When I just pass my license, i got a second hand slow ass bike to test it out before getting my current bike. I managed to a test ride the bike and did a test ride before purchasing. If you are purchasing the bike from a direct-owner, you might have to settle most of the admin your own or have it settle at a bike shop.
Purchasing for the shops will settle most of the administrative side for you like bidding for COE and insurance, hence for the need of research. I had good riding friends who let me try out the same bike to get a feel before I made my final purchase. Good to know some riding friends to ask them where they purchase their motorcycle and how did it go with the shop!
i wish i could rent a motorcycle if i go to Sg XD, it is so convenient!
Hi can i ask u whats the top speed at gear 6? cause i bought the same bike but it feels like very slow capping at 80-90😢 appreciate if you take your time to responsee
Hi hi! Eh? 80-90? Still can go faster eh. The top speed at gear 6 when I went full throttle was 130km/h if I remember correctly. If I never max out, around 121km/h?
@@jfkoh5040 wa damn so much diff.. but when i pull max throttle for long maybe hit 10X + only😭 maybe my weight ba i arnd 95kg HAHAH. Thanks for taking your time to respond!! is just cause i not sure isit i heavy or secondhand bike..
@@osh9758 That's very weird... Don't think your weight is the issue. I have ever rode with a 90kg pillion behind which confirm hit above the max weight but it could still hit above 100km/h. There could be multiple reasons the bike is facing poor acceleration plus, it is a 2nd hand bike. Have you serviced your bike when you received it? Suggest you see your trusted mechanic to do an overall check. Something could be clogged, dirty or maybe the previous owner modified something with the bike you don't know. My go to shop is, Bike Image SG @ Kaki Bukit.
Keep up the motovlogs! But what's the french fries shop!
Thanks man! The french fries shop is called, Spuds! It is at Midpoint Orchard, B1-07! facebook.com/spudssingapore/
Hehe. You've been busy! Nice~
hehehe thanks Babu!
The CB 150 so small. Your licensed plate stick on the speedometer. 😃😃🙂
Hahaha yah~ if you’re a big guy then it might not ‘suit’ you. Why? Want to catch me me ah heh heh heh
@@jfkoh5040 Flirting game strong. 🤣 By the way, ride to Tuas Lamppost 1 someday?
U split lane I a bit worry. 😔
🙊🙈 I don’t do it all the time 😇
hello, may i know what camera are you using ?
^
The camera I used is a GoPro 7 Black!
Hi! I thought the top speed in sg was supposed to be around 90 kmph on highways. How were you able to cross 100 ah?
Hi hi! Yes, sg highways are either 80kmph or 90kmph. Tunnels are either 70/80kmph. Haha I just pull my throttle? Of course not suppose to exceed the speed limit lah 😇
Where and how you mount your camera?
I got a chest mount that I wore and attached the GoPro! Looks exactly like this, www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Chest-Mount-Harness-cameras/dp/B01D3I8A7A
@@jfkoh5040 thanks
didnt know of motorcycle parking lots at somerset :(
Yah! Somerset is just so difficult to find motorcycle parking space. I gave up trying to park the one just behind 313. Meh. I usually park along Emerald Link, where everyone just squeezed 3-4 bikes in one lot! Hahaha 😂 If worst case, I parked at the last place in my video loh :/ where you usually park??
@@jfkoh5040 Thanks for central area parking tips!
Those lorries is damn nuisance always taking up most lanes obstructing the view
